Childrens Dentist Adelaide
Royal Park Dental • Children's Dental Care
What is the value in bringing my young toddler to a kids dentist?
Oral hygiene is important in early years, to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Children should start to visit the dental practice from about 1 or 2 years of age, so bring them along with you to your check-ups. The aim of the visits is to familiarise them with the surroundings and make them feel comfortable well before any dental check up or treatment is required.
Our team understands that the first appointment should be fun and pleasant with the aim for your child to return. The first visit involves riding in the dental chair, counting teeth and chat with parents regarding oral hygiene for their children. With regular visits, our dentist can detect any dental problems in their very early stages and provide any necessary treatment, before the problems developing, which will require more complex dental treatment.
